Forgot about the few weeks where UK/ET is 4 hours difference and woke up too early. Saw there was no queue so went back to sleep. To my dismay missed the start of the queue...in the waiting room now.
12mins.
Defo missed out on this one. Hey ho, row D is good!
35mins...FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE
5 min waiting time
26 minutes est. will it be sold out in 26min?
40 min... damn
Feel it coming apartYour estimated wait time is: 27 minutes
Well
At least I tried
I refreshed the page 1 minute before. Got my ticket! FUCK YES LET'S DO THIS
Edit: To be fair, I had been sitting refreshing for 45 minutes.
coming down in time real fast now
It's dropping quick, 27mins and now 19 in the space of 4 mins...guessing it's all gone...
Can't believe it. We're just about to have a fire drill at work, so there's no way I can be at my desk once it goes off. 2 mins left to queue it says... this is going to be very close...
All gone on front stalls. Plenty left on rear stalls. You'll be fine.
Two front row seats sorted for my friend I am doing Paris and Berlin, but he seems to have the worst luck with gig tickets! So I sorted them for him. Kind of regretting being at Graspop while it's on now I could have been front row :'D
After all that palaver, my logged-in screen which didn't put me in the queue before 10am put me straight through to ticket sales AT 10am and now I HAVE FRONT ROW TICKETS!
So front row was reserved for this pre-sale. Slightly annoying vs SB members, but hey ho. Row D is great.
I'd take a seat at the back tbh...8mins
Only seats available were rear stalls and balcony. Got one near the front on the balcony.
Yes yes, my friend did the presale phoned and got row A! So excited. So I have 4 balcony row M tickets to get rid of. (Right at the back) I may end up just giving them back to Southbank as returns
Not est time now is it sold out?
Got my tickets. The site was very buggy for me....but success in the end.
Booked for the 5th row. Happy with that. I managed to bypass the "queue" by having a different browser (Firefox) open, signed into Southbank account I'd registered with yestarday and pressing refresh. It took me to the seatmap straight away. Sorted!
Looks like all the front 2 row seats had gone unless some are held back for tomorrow.
Still in queue with no estimated time now...
Front what I could tell, there were still not tickets available for the central chunks of rows a and b, but there was stuff on the sides for both. Here's what was available when I got in at 10:

Ended up in Row G. Still pretty awesome, but pretty sure I could have got front row if I hadn’t wasted over a minute trying to select seats before realising you have to clicks “get best available tickets”.
Unless they are doing more sales 'staggering' today like they said they were doing yesterday, then it has to be sold out.
All gone now. A bit unfair for those without SBC accounts; there seemed to be no queue system for those with accounts - I was taken straight in. There seemed to be a lot of tickets though - certainly more than the 100 or so that I'd heard mention of yesterday.
